Your small investment in chamber membership can be translated into significant sales and access to important resources with just a few simple steps.  While helping your community survive challenges and thrive (which can indirectly help your business) is one of the major benefits of chamber membership, there are others.  One such benefit is ChamberPower.  This program outlines in a clear easy-to-follow strategy the steps you can take to translate your chamber membership investment and a small amount of time into dollars - even in challenging times.

This session is presented by Rick Nagele, former chairman of the Board of the Chamber and president of Advantage Marketing Information.  Rick consults to a diverse range of companies including GE, Starwood Hotel & Resorts, McDonald's, as well as a variety of not-for-profit organizations and smaller local companies.
